Happy 193rd Birthday Louis Louis

 Happy 193rd birthday to Louis Vuitton, the man not the brand.

But go ahead if you also feel like celebrating beautiful works of art for the arm like this classic Louis Vuitton satchel.

At 14 years old he ran away from home and arrived in Paris 2 years later.  He found work as a box-maker's apprentice which was a highly respected craft at the time.

He was later hired as the Empress of France's personal box-maker and packer.  His duties included, "packing the most beautiful clothes in an exquisite way."  He obviously took that objective to heart.  Voila!
And you can take to heart that the double zipper on this satchel zips all the way around and down to the bottom of the bag for a huge, gusseted, easy access to all you've packed to carry.
 
 

The inside coral, linen lining makes finding just what you need tout de suite so easy.  There's also a zippered pocket and in this classic style, the label

Louis Vuitton
